Mayor’s Report KAREN HAMLING Mayor
The Village of Nakusp is experiencing a critical water shortage and has taken steps to protect the Village by issuing a no lawn watering order until further notice. We have put out the watering restriction in order to ensure that we have enough water in our reservoir to provide fire protection. Our water sources come from creeks and an aquifer. Our large well is working at capacity and our smaller well is experiencing mechanical problems which will take at least another three weeks to resolve.
It is taking longer and longer for our million gallon reservoir to fill due to the unusually warm weather that we have been experiencing. We don’t usually have this problem until August. However, we are in the midst of an extremely hot spell for July and very little moisture. This has been one of the hottest and driest July’s that we have experienced in many years. The daily average consumption usage in the Village in January was 1199 cubic meters; in June it was 2125 cubic meters and in July it has jumped to 3156 cubic meters. We currently can not sustain this type of usage and still provide fire protection. This is far more water con-
Nakusp’s 510 Broadway St W, Nakusp, BC (250) 265-3662
The Village of Nakusp has issued a water restriction
sumption than before we had the wells. Our water usage has risen drastically over the past two years. Please do your part in conserving water throughout these next few months. Our bylaws provide for $100 fines to people who contravene these restrictions and we will enforce the bylaw. We prefer to not have to enact fines but providing drinking water and fire protection is our primary goal. I get a lot of people question why we do not use the lake water to service the community. The concept has been looked into in the past but the costs to pump the water and treat the water from the lake would be massive. We would have to have a new
facility to pump and treat the water. Just a note regarding curb side pickup within the village for recycling – pick up is every two weeks (on a Thursday) and can be left in the same spot as your garbage pails on garbage day. Currently, we accept the blue bags but not the blue bins. At thirtyfive cents a bag (for large bags), it is cheaper than driving to the recycling centre. There is a great information sheet at the Village office listing what can and can not be picked up. The next recycling pick ups will be July 31, Aug. 14 and 28. We hope that you will use this service that we are providing. Council and staff wish you a safe and happy summer.

Community
Nakusp is set to bloom RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
Councilor and Selkirk College Continuing Education Coordinator Ulli Mueller has championed a proposal on behalf of Nakusp to participate in the Communities In Bloom (CIB) program. CIB is designed as a continuous community improvement program that provides a framework of criteria that are judged then assigned a rating from 1 to 5 blooms. The eight categories include: tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape and floral displays. Communities can participate in provincial, national and international levels of competition. There is also a non-competitive category as well as a novice program
for communities to use as a jumping off point. Mueller has spearheaded participation in the novice program by forming a committee with School District 10 employee, Kathleen Jones and NACFOR Project Manager, Frances Swan. Mueller then invited CIB judges Rea Smith and Michelle Rule to tour Nakusp and begin the mentoring process. After a morning spent reviewing the village, Smith and Rule presented a workshop to the inceptive committee members at Selkirk College. “It’s about livability” Smith clarifies, “and all those little things in your community that make this a place for people to live in or visit.” The novice program is organized as an introduction to CiB and involves
participating communities choosing three of the eight criteria to develop then submit for judging. Mueller, in consultation with Swan, decided to focus on environmental, tidiness and landscape criteria for next year’s judging. There are three levels of competition that CIB is involved with; Provincial, National and International and are based on flagship programs in Britain, England and Ireland. The process involves the formation of a local community enhancement committee who would bring interested volunteers and existing programs under its umbrella to create a Community Profile. Naksup then had a year to focus on developing the community to reflect three of the six themes that make up the criteria for judging.

Taking a historical look at some familiar buildings RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
A diverse and wet group of historical enthusiasts and curious locals gathered together at the Nakusp Museum on the afternoon of July 19 to prepare for the advertised historical walking tour of Nakusp. Museum attendant (and summer student), Jillian Koftinoff welcomed the group on behalf of the
Nakusp Museum and assumed her role as tour guide, leading the way to Broadway Street just as the morning downpour began to slack. The tour visited three locations; Home Grown Market & Juice Bar, Meritxell Books and the Treasure Trove, conveniently located kitty corner to each other at the corner of 4th Ave and Broadway. At each stop Koftinoff shared an avalanche of histori-

This was the first tour of its kind organized through the local museum and was inspired by news of successful historical tours being conducted in Revelstoke. Nakusp Museum chairperson, Sharon

Making bows RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
Clark Dennill has been making bows for over 25 years and has yet to meet a man who has not shot a bow and arrow at some point in his life. “It’s primal” Dennill states, “there are those who would argue that the wooden bow goes back over thirty thousand years. We live by the bow.” Under the auspice of the Arrow Lakes Fine Art Art Aalk, Dennill has been invited to take up an artist in residence role at the Selkirk College for the duration of July. He has set up shop in the front room of the college and welcomes visitors any time to stop in and check out his work and observe the process. Dennill was also petitioned to showcase specimens of his bow and furniture work at a gala event hosted at Selkirk. “I don’t do many shows, I used to show quite a bit when I was younger” Dennill admits, “but I mostly teach and craft now.” Dennill began woodworking by crafting furni-
ture pieces, and didn’t make his first bows until his children were five and six. “It was great” Dennill’s son Tyler exclaims, “I mean, what kid didn’t like to play around with bows and arrows?” A father’s gift to his sons has since then become a family tradition of shooting that continues to this day. “For me shooting is more of a spiritual thing. It’s a practice for me, a discipline” Dennill explains, pointing out that he has shot every bow on display at the college. Working primarily with yew wood, Dennill’s meticulous process takes over 10 years from the harvest of a tree to the completion of the bow. Each bow is unique and carries its own tension characteristics. “There is no finer wood that yew for bow making on the plant” Dennill claims. During the development of his own technique, Dennill had the pleasure of working with master bow maker, John Strunk, from Oregon. The workshop lasted four days, at the end

of which Dennill took away what he could and branched off in his own direction. Dennill has also worked with and instructed bow makers internationally throughout his career and
intends to carry on the centuries old tradition. “Each bow you make” Dennill shares, “you want to make another one because you think you can make it even finer.”

Senior’s column
As many of us already know, it often becomes a major challenge when facing expenses associated with undergoing specialized medical treatment outside one’s own home community. Residents of Nakusp and area as with all other parts of this province, may be interested in learning details of a travel assistance program (TAP) set up to help alleviate what could be a heavy financial load.
To be eligible for the program, applicants must be enrolled with Medical Services Plan (MSP). An escort may be considered eligible although only when accompanying a patient who is 18 years or under, or a patient who is incapable of travelling independently for medical reasons. TAP operates as a corporate partnership between the Ministry of Health and certain private transportation carriers such as airlines and bus services. For further information on the medical travel assistance program, application criteria, access to the application forms, the filing process and for the list of resources making the program possible for BC residents, call toll free 1-800661-2668.
Council Briefs July 14, 2014
RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
NEW CFO Council began with the introduction of the new Chief Financial Officer, Cylde Bersky who will be officially replacing Robert Richards on August 14. Bersky has 10 years experience working with financials in Saskatchewan and will be completing his masters in the near future. “I am looking forward to working with everyone” Bersky commented, “and its nice to be back living in B.C.” BIKE PARK Nate Lott and Yan Lebreque from D.I.G. Trail Design Ltd in Rossland presented council with plan details to build a BMX park in Nakusp. The bike park concept has been developed in partnership with the Nakusp Youth Centre (NYC) and is the result of two meetings where the needs of the biking community were discussed. The first meeting was held at the Youth Centre where the focus turned from developing downhill trails to building a park in town. The second meeting involved bike enthusiasts meeting with Lott and Labreque at the Nakusp skate park to bounce ideas around design,
concept and location. Lott and Lebreque then developed a 3D proposal of the park and detailed a building schedule with a cost break down, which were distributed to council members. Lott explained “the construction would take place in three phases as funding allows” and would include features for all levels of riders. The park would begin with a series of tabletop structures then move on to developing short and long pump tracks. The finished product would require over 400 cubic yards of dirt material per phase and would cover an area approximately 200 feet by 120 feet. The proposed location is the area north of the existing skateboard park; a spot that the group feels would encourage family riding and promote tourism given its scenic setting. Costs involved with construction were presented in terms of maximums that could be dramatically reduced by volunteer and in-kind donations. Lott and Lebreque have 10 years experience building parks and trails and generally work with a 1 to 3 ratio of grants to donations. “We want this to be the community’s bike park” Lott stated, “in other parks
and trials we have built, the youth and residents take stewardship of the maintenance and general upkeep” Council expressed confusion that members of the youth group were not present for the presentation and requested that a request for council support be made with members of the NYC in attendance. Lott and Lebreque clarified that their intention was to “show council what is possible” and had plans already in place to return with youth representatives for another presentation. Given the time frame this project has a 2015 proposed start date. NAKUSP HOTSPRINGS HILLCLIMB POSTPONED Councilor Guy Duchaine informed council that the hillclimb scheduled for 2014 has been postponed. “There were a number of little things that needed to be in place by July 1 that were not” Duchaine explained, “so the permit was not issued.” The ministry of transportation is responsible for issuing permits for an event such as a hillclimb. Duchaine assured council that the problem will not hinder the event, and with the extra time the group is looking into expanding the proposed

hillclimb by including a rally in May of next year.
CANADA DAY Councilor Duchaine also reported on the Chamber of Commerce’s review of the Canada Day celebrations. “It was extremely successful and we had a lot of fun” Duchaine stated. The event exceeded participation expectations, which raised concerns about the delays for restroom use and the limited water, power and sewage to meet vender demands. There was also public disappointment that the Bunnock competition was cancelled, as this was a popular event last year. The Canada Day organizers are looking into the possibility of purchasing additional sets of the game thus alleviating dependence on Bonnie Hillis from Alberta. Hillis was influential in introducing the popular game to Nakuspians, but took sick and was not able to attend the July 1 celebrations.
HOT SPRINGS ROAD REALIGNMENT PROPOSAL Council was provided the opportunity to review and comment on a pit and road realignment application that was submitted by Arrow Lakes Ready Mix (ALRM) to Front Counter BC.

ITP needed a hit, but were not expecting the homerun performance that Struck delivered. The gathered crowd erupted with cheers as the ball took flight into the fading light of the day, then dropped decidedly on the far side of the chain link fence thus dethroning last years champions. Struck, along with Zac Wethal were instrumental in organizing the Nakusp softball league, which hosted seven teams
this season. All of the magic generated by community competition that enveloped the ball fields on Monday and Wednesday nights was the result of their tireless efforts making softball a reality for Nakusp. Wethal would like to thank all of the volunteers and teams for the great season, and would like to remind everyone that ball isn’t over; the August Long Weekend Tournament is coming up.
Mega Sports Camp Mega Fun RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
Saddleback Community Church pastor, Craig Savage, along with an arsenal of volunteers from the Christian Youth Group, Arrow Lake Alliance Church and Burton Full Gospel have successfully completed their fourth Mega Sports Camp in Nakusp. The camp was an opportunity for local youth to participate in a variety of sports including soccer and basketball while exploring health and wellness principles. A grant received from the Rec Commission allowed for the introduction of cheerleading and baseball as new activities which were well received by this year’s participants. Savage describes the impetus for the camp stemmed from a church tradition of offering a
“vacational bible school” during the summer. Savage helped organize camps of this nature when he was a Youth Pastor in Vancouver, but when his family relocated to Nakusp five years ago the decision was made focus on “providing a summer activity for the whole community, not just the church community.” Arrow Lakes School District generously allowed the group access to Nakusp Elementary School facilities for the duration of the sports camp, as well as use of the school fields and equipment. Local volunteers provided the manpower to run the daily activities and lead inspirational discussion with the participants. Savage also hired a summer student through the church whose principle responsibility was to assist with the organization and operation of the camp. This year’s student is Sara Willis, who is attending Summit Pacific College in Abbotsford.

Walk-off home run! Walk-off home run! There couldn’t have been a more exciting way to end the finals game which saw rivals In The Parkers (ITP) face off against last year champions, the Brew Jays. Ryan Struck was the hero who catapulted his team to glory with his 7th inning blast that sent the ball over the fence
and into history. The match was a back and forth contest that found the veteran ITP team with an early deficit of 4 runs during the second inning. ITP managed to realign their game plan and caught up 4 runs at their next bat and went on to jostle for the lead. The game was tied at 8 runs when Struck took up the bat and swaggered into the box with the out count at 2.

Poetry comes alive at the Nakusp Library RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
Most of us who have achieved a western education will recall the almost cliché statement, trumpeted by some English teacher in our past, that “Shakespeare must be heard to be appreciated” or some variation thereof. But there is always some truth in a cliché, and often, those who struggled with the confusing words on paper found clarity when text alighted into air by skilled actors and narrators. Critics of poetry, the same who mutter statements like “there is the same number of people reading poetry as there is writing it” would do well to recall their English teacher’s lessons, and venture an attendance to some future poetry reading so as to experience the magical animation of the printed word. Poetry cannot live on the page; it lives through the intonations of speech and
the subtle gestures as the narrator slings words and turns phrases to construct moments that cannot be defined by the sum of its grammatical parts. Such was the magic woven on the evening of July 18 when poets of all discipline and style descended upon the Nakusp Library to participate in the (anticipated) annual, Poetry Slam. The evening’s MC, Barbara MacPherson, began with a welcome and a clarification that this event was different from the library’s other poetry appreciation night in that the selections presented “are all original works written and read by their author. “The ensuing evening of poetry was an intimate experience for all those present, as nervous first time readers shared glimpses of themselves alongside confident and/or, published veterans. All of the tricks of the trade were on display, as each poet tickled the imagi-
nations of the audience with an arsenal of adjectives, juxtaposition, alliteration, rhyme, meter and so on. Youth, in the spring of their writing selves presented perspectives of life as through the lenses of a magnifying glass, extrapolating microcosms hiding in a single moment or specific feeling. These selections were juxtaposed with the mature poets, who skillfully shared evocative interpretations of

a larger world including the expropriation of families along the Columbia river, reflections on the concept of hope, journeys to the flat lands of Grand Prairie and the breadth of Saskatchewan heat, to name a few. The span of poets presenting at the slam was an impressive spectrum from “17-70ish”, MacPherson teased, and contrary to the critics of poetry, not everyone present read a poem of their own.
